Fluoride in Toothpaste

Dr. Zachary E. Linhart, DDS

Fluoride in water. OK. But fluoride in toothpaste?

We already discussed the History of Fluoride, and how it ended up as part of worldwide cavity prevention. Dr. Washington Sheffield developed paste dentifrice in the late 1800's, advancing from the tooth powers of old. He also soon realized the potential of tubes to carry the toothpaste, following suit from painters in France; thus he developed the modern style toothpastes we use today.(1)

For eons, toothpastes had contained strange and exotic ingredients from burnt oyster shells to ground areca nuts, some of which today are known to be carcinogenic. Nothing in them actually prevented dental decay, which has been rampant since the discovery of sugar.

Up until the discovery of the anti-cavity effects of Fluoride, toothpaste used purely mechanical action to "clean" the teeth, like wiping a car with water and a washcloth.

However in the 1940's, after the first studies showed the effectiveness of fluoridated water, the idea of adding fluoride to toothpaste became a reality.

Crest was the first fluoride toothpaste, championed by Proctor & Gamble after years of scientific study.

Dr. Joseph Muhler and his team performed the groundbreaking study by giving children either a fluoride containing toothpaste, or a control toothpaste with no fluoride. Over 3,600 kids participated in Indiana.

The study found that "A stannous fluoride-containing dentifrice at a fluorine concentration of 1,000 ppm and a tin concentration of 3,200 ppm results in a pronounced reduction in dental caries in 6- to 15-year-old children after using the dentifrice in an unsupervised manner for a period of six months. When compared to an identical control dentifrice not containing stannous fluoride, a 53 per cent reduction in DMF teeth and a 72 per cent reduction in DMF surfaces resulted." (2) (DMF stands for the Decayed - Missing - Filled index for quantifying dental decay)

That is a massive reduction in dental decay!

Before fluoride toothpaste (and fluoridated water), almost all dental visits meant a new cavity, or multiple new cavities. Data from the 1930s showed 95% of 15-year-olds looked at had tooth decay! That means only 1 out of twenty had no decay.

Today, many Americans have no tooth decay at all in any of their teeth!

Dozens of studies since then have showed the benefits of fluoride, with very few negative side-effects when used properly. (3)

Today, it is well established in the dental community that fluoride is a hallmark in dental cavity prevention, and dentists around the globe recommend fluoride toothpaste. (4)

After 10 years of modifying and perfecting their line, this year marked their fourth generation of products to come out. We were sent two boxes to try out, here's what was inside them.

Product Review

I have extremely sensitive teeth, so I never really know how a product is going to be for me. I've tried teeth whitening products before and sensitivity was always my number one issue I had.

So, I was pleasantly surprised to not have any issues when it came to sensitivity- both with the toothpaste and the gel. I'm glad to have finally have found something that leaves my mouth with a fresh clean scent and sparkling white smile..

Their toothpaste is made with aloe and Linämel, which helps protect enamel & their teeth whitening gel contain hydrogen peroxide to help achieve that sparkling smile.

Definitely take a minute to check them out if your in need of some new oral care!

A History of Fluoride

Dr. Zachary E. Linhart, DDS

Colorado Brown Stain - How exactly did fluoride become associated with dental decay, and why?

Well it all started over 100 years ago, when a young dentist by the name of Frederick McKay noticed dark brown staining on the population of Colorado Springs where he opened up his dental practice.

Accompanied by the "Father of Restorative Dentistry" G.V. Black, the two dentists began to study what caused these "chocolate" colored brown stains, and why these folks had much reduced dental decay rates. From 1909 to the 1940's, the mystery remained.

Black and McKay lacked the tools necessary to ascertain what was in the diet of these individuals that was causing the Colorado Brown Stain.

In 1931, the dentists were finally able to determine, through more advanced laboratory testing, that extremely high levels of Fluoride in the water were the underlying cause of the brown stains.

Now that the cause was known, the new task was to determine if the cavity-fighting qualities of this naturally occurring element could be maintained, without the cosmetic brown staining.

It was determined that the fluoride came from the breakdown of fluorine-bearing minerals that lined watersheds near Pikes Peak. A NATURAL effect.

Scientists in the 1930's determined that 1ppm of fluoride in drinking water was the best concentration to achieve anti-cavity effects without and negative visual effects on the teeth, and a landmark study was conducted to prove out the safety and efficiency.

The revolutionary study in Grand Rapids, Michigan, began in 1945 and ran for 15 years, the results were, to put it mildly, absolutelyASTOUNDING!

The results were so conclusive that after just 5 years of the study, the control town started fluoridating their water because they realized the immense health benefits.

A study in 1941 “showed that children whogrew updrinking fluoridated water developed only about one-fourth as many cavities as those who did not.”

Since the US started incorporating fluoride into drinking water, dental decay rates dropped drastically, in some instances up to 60%.

It was also found that, while ingesting fluoride through water was effective in fighting decay, topically applying fluoride to the teeth through toothpaste boosted this effect even further!

This astounding reduction in decay rates is how fluoride became a hallmark of oral care and is recommended by most dentists and doctors.

DIY Tooth-Whitening is one of the latest and greatest crazes of today. With all of these new ways to whiten your teeth, the one method that has really taken the market by storm is Charcoal. From charcoal whitening toothpastes, to charcoal bristled toothbrushes, all of these products have one thing in common:

Abrasion- The process of scraping or wearing away tooth enamel.

“So many of our patients were buying commercial whitening toothpaste to get whiter, more beautiful teeth. Unfortunately, these formulas contained high levels of hydrated silica, causing abrasion and a loss of enamel. I thought it was important to come up with a better solution for my patients.” -Dr. Jan Linhart

The LINHART Tooth Whitener Gelis the perfect supplement to your everyday toothpaste. It offers an effective, stable, and easy to use tooth whitening formula.

SIMPLE TO USE DIRECTIONS:

Just place a drop of whitener on top of your toothpaste prior to brushing, then brush as usual. For optimal health and whitening results, use with LINHART Toothpasteand Nano-Silver Toothbrush.

WHAT'S DIFFERENT ABOUT OUR WHITENER?

BY DENTISTS FOR YOU,

“All of our products are formulated with the safest ingredients, not just with ingredients that have the largest popularity or following. We are dentists and it is our top priority to give our patients the best smile with the safest and most effective ingredients possible.” -Dr. Zachary Linhart

Make An Educated Decision

The oral care market is flooded with so many options. With each brand promising you various benefits and results, it's difficult to know which choice is best for you. Our hope is that before you place any products on your brush or on your teeth, you do your research. You only have one smile so take care of it!

Well Martha, thank you for the compliment, we have spent over a decade developing our fabulous products and we are thrilled that you love them, as our patients and other customers do!

The “Big Game” is behind us. And, for the most part, the game was dull and viewership was down. To most of us, the best part is watching the commercials! Especially this year.

The commercials tell us a lot about the US consumer and what is “hot” in America. After all, at $5.25 Million per 30 seconds, a lot of market research goes into these ads.

This year, it was interesting to see that along with the many alcoholic beverages, perennial regulars Coke and Pepsi, 2 other “sparkling”drinks entered the market; One soft (Bubly) and one hard (Bon And Viv Spiked Seltzer). People think that “SPARKLING” is healthy. In fact, Bubly’s tag line says “JUST SMILES”.

And with dozens of new and hip sparkling drinks on the market, more and more of us are turning to them instead of good old tap water.

And, everyone it seems is anti sugar (and corn syrup). While that’s a good thing for our nationwide obesity epidemic, it doesn’t deal with another common phenomenon, TOOTH EROSION!

The problem is that we’re seeing an increasing amount of tooth sensitivity and “erosion”. Erosion is where the tooth is actually melting away, much like the Wicked Witch of The West in the Wizard of Oz, when water is spilled on her, teeth melt away when exposed to acid.

Sparkling anything means carbonation. And, carbonation means carbonic acid. And acid, well, as you can imaging, dissolves teeth. It dissolves the enamel and the softer dentin and root surfaces. The result is weaker and more sensitive teeth.

The average pH (the measure of acidity, with 7 being neutral, >7 being basic, and <7 being acidic) of carbonated drinks is 2.5-2.8, only slightly less acidic than battery acid!

Tooth enamel starts to dissolve at pH 5.5, you do the math! Dentin and root surfaces will start melting away at just pH 6.5.

And, when you add SUGAR to the acid, guess what also happens quicker? CAVITIES!

And, when you’re taking medications that dries out your mouth, guess what happens even faster? MORE CAVITIES!

And if you think its just carbonated drinks, think again. Here’s a list of some foods and their pH.

Beer 4.0-5.0

Black Tea 4.2

Cranberry Juice: 2.5

Cranberry Sauce 2.3

Coffee 2.4-3.3

Fermented Veggies 3.9-5.1

Orange Juice 3.7

Ketchup 3.7

Pickles 2.5-3.0

Carbonated Drinks 2.5-2.8

Tomatoes 3.7-4.7

Sodas, like Coke and Pepsi are pH 2.4. And, the diet versions are NO BETTER!

These are EXTERNAL sources of acid too. If you have indigestion, pregnancy nausea or GERD (acid reflux) your stomach acid (pH 1.5-3.5) might be adding to the problem.

What are you to do???

Minimize exposure: try NOT to sip your acidic beverage over a long time. The sooner it’s gone, the better.

Eat Fibrous foods. Foods that have fiber and require a lot of chewing stimulate more saliva, which neutralizes (buffers) the acids. Saliva is BASIC.

After eating anything acidic, rinse your mouth with water. Don’t swish anything bubbly around! Tap water in NYC and the area has fluoride, which helps strengthen Enamel.

Don’t brush within 30 minutes of eating anything acidic (almost anything). That just allows the bristles to work the acid into the tooth material faster, accelerating the erosion. Also, NEVER SCRUB with a toothbrush, your teeth are NOT the dishes!

Drinking acidic beverages through a straw helps protect teeth a bit, but not back teeth.

Chew sugarless gum with either Xylitol or Erithritol. These natural alcohol sugars are safer and actually change the bacteria makeup of the mouth. Chewing, as I mentioned above, stimulates saliva, your body’s natural defense system. Please check with us to see if chewing gum could harm your joint (TMJ) or your dental restorations.

Fluoride helps make the teeth (especially the roots) more resistant to acids. Please ask your hygienist which form of fluoride is most appropriate for YOU.

LINHART toothpaste has Xylitol, and Fluoride, to help keep enamel strong. Also, Theobromine, an extract of chocolate, is included to strengthen enamel.

We try to customize our dental recommendations based on your specific risks. Along with educating you, it’s how we can best help you prevent problems.

Check out this amazing article from Domino.com about our awesome toothpaste. They even go as far as comparing our design to those by Phillipe Starck. Thanks!

We recently re-discovered our love for orange and haven’t turned back—medicine cabinet included. If you love French designer Philippe Starck (and his design passion of sneaking a touch of vibrant orange into every single room he designs), then you’ll definitely appreciate this bold orange tube.

The mix of fluoride (Dr. Plotnick reminded us that some people really do need it), powerful cavity preventer xylitol, and aloe vera combine for a knockout brushing experience. It also includes theobromine, which is an extract of cocoa beans, to help strengthen enamel.

It’s worth noting that the paste nicely foams up for a pleasant experience, while still being gentle enough for sensitive teeth. The brand is a family affair, too, created by father and son NYC cosmetic dentists Dr. Jan Linhart and Dr. Zachary Linhart—meaning it’s most definitely dentist-approved, too.

If you, my #BeautyBagDolls are like me then you love subscription boxes and there is an amazing one out there fromLINHARTthis subscription bundle is designed to care for your teeth. Another great thing is you can get a free trial subscription and just pay the $5.00 shipping costs. The bundles come in Single, Couple and Family.

Just as we all tend to do with our wardrobes as the seasons change, I like to switch up my skincare routine.

It was almost 60 degrees here today. FINALLY, things are starting to feel like spring in NYC. Just as we all tend to do with our wardrobes as the seasons change, I like to switch up my skincare routine. Yes, I have my core go-to’s that I keep year-round, but the weather really does affect how our skin feels and what it needs, which is why I do this. Below I’ve listed the skin and self care things that I’m loving for spring–some of them classic and others downright weird–and why I like them. And as always, everything is on the affordable side, because I know we’re all on budgets and can’t just throw down tons of money every time a season changes.

Have you tried any of these? Let me know! Or if you haven’t, which would you be most interested to try?

Linhart Ion Toothbrush & Whitening Gel|| I came across these products, which are made by a family-owned dentistry in NYC, at the popup BKLYN Beauty Market atCity Pointabout a month ago, which was curated by beauty blogger@itsme.ana. I started out by trying the whitening gel, which requires zero trays or strips. With this whitener, you just add a dab of it to your toothpaste when you brush. It’s got Hydrogen Peroxide, which is what whitens the tooth without abrasives that fuck with your tooth enamel, and Poloxamer 407, which is what makes it work the way it does without strips or trays. After trying this for a month and seeing results, I wanted to try theirtoothcare subscription, which comes with a toothbrush, tube of toothpaste, and a lip balm (that smells like Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies), all formulated by Linhart. The toothbrush bristles are infused with Antibacterial Nano-Silver that kills the bacteria that would normally sit or get onto your toothbrush (itisin the bathroom, after all).

Park Avenue dentists Jan Linhart and his son Zachary E. Linhart spent a decade creating the deluxe dentifrice, formulated with cocoa bean extract, xylitol, fluoride and aloe vera.

The new, anise-flavored cuspid cleanser can be purchased alone, or as part of a subscription service.

Prices range from $3 to $16,linhart.nyc

Why I love it: Toothpaste is such a basic item that I wouldn’t think of it as a monthly favorite typically, but this one is pretty fab! It is the perfect mint flavor, the formula designed to help strengthen enamel and prevent decay, and the best part? I love the packaging! It looks great on our bathroom counter!

New Beauty Test Tube is a beauty subscription box filled with 10+ deluxe and full-sized luxury beauty products, plusa subscription to New Beauty Magazine, delivered quarterly. This subscription is $29.95 plus shipping and is delivered every other month. NBTT recently made some changes and now says that they offer “beauty solutions” that will help solve our biggest makeup, skin, hair, and body concerns.

Everything in my box! NBTT promises 10 or more full-sized and deluxe sample-sized products and at least $150 value.

Each box comes with a lengthy product information booklet to teach you about everything in your haul.

The booklet has several pages of listicles, pointing out trends and hot topics in the world beauty.

Many powerful ingredients pop up over and over again in the best beauty products — these pages explain some of the science that makes these products so effective.

The booklet also has product pages that are very detailed and list the problem, solution, retail price, and insight from the editors regarding each product.

You’ll notice those beneficial ingredients from the first few pages popping up all over the place.

The price for a full-size version of each product is noted — you definitely get a sense of how much value is crammed into this subscription!

I find the format really useful. It has tons of information, but it’s broken down into quickly-scannable blurbs, and the Problem/Solution header is an instant snapshot of each product’s purpose.

Not every product in the tube gets listed in the booklet, and there may be variations with the additional products.

This box has items that aren’t in the booklet (total variations/bonus items) plus items that you will see in the booklet but not receive because they are a variant item. In addition – the booklet shows the full sizes while you may not receive the full size.We’ve broken things down into 3 sections below – in the booklet (everyone gets), everyone gets a variant item, and bonus items that aren’t in the booklet. There weren’t any bonus items this time around.

Linhart Toothpaste($10) Formulated with theobromine, fluoride and xylitol, this toothpaste keeps the teeth clean and strong. It also contains aloe vera that helps in soothing and healing the gums. I was a little concerned with the anise this would taste like licorice, but it has a great minty flavor.

About Linhart Dentistry

In 1973, after knowing what his parents sacrificed to provide for him in USA, Jan Linhart attended college. Upon graduating New York School of Dentistry in 1979, he decided to open up his own dentistry. It would start as a one chair affair and later become world renowned, state of the art practice. In 2011, Dr. Jan Linhart welcomed his son Dr. Zachary Linhart to the practice. Together they strive to stay up to date with ever changing dental procedures to provide the public with that healthy smile. In 2007 the father son doctor duo developed PerlinBrite, the first of four generations of personalized products. After 10 years of development, improvements and modifications, the doctors have a preventative and restorative dental care line called Linhart.

The Product

The Linhart brandincludes a few products. The Nano-silver toothbrush which is antibacterial, soft, and has multi-length bristles to reach all areas of your mouth. The toothpaste has theobromine which helps strengthen enamel, flouride to prevent cavities, xylitol a sugar that helps prevent tooth decay, and aloe vera which soothes and heals the gums. The tooth whitener gel, which you can just add to the top of your toothpaste includes hydrogen peroxide and a carrier that helps to keep the hydrogen peroxide stable, resulting in whiter teeth.

Results

After just a few days, the results are fantastic. I absolutely love the way my mouth feels after each use and I see the difference in the color of my teeth already. I love that it is so easy to achieve that bright, Linhart white smile with just toothpaste and gel. The flavor of the toothpaste is minty but not overwhelming and it makes me feel like I have fresh breath all day. Their chapstick is phenomenal. I always have dry lips due to the environment I work in and it has really helped them feel smooth throughout the day.
